Steel Laboratory Prelim Exam PDF

This document provides instructions and three practice problems for a steel laboratory prelim exam. Students are instructed to show their work and not use mobile phones during the exam. The three problems involve: 1) Determining the safe load on a plate fastened with bolts. 2) Finding the maximum axial load on a pin-connected steel column. 3) Calculating the allowable axial load on a non-standard structural shape. Mobile phones are prohibited and cheating is not allowed during the exam.
